DCT Abu Dhabi, in partnership with NOMAD, announced a cultural experience that will see Abu Dhabi’s decommissioned Abu Dhabi International Airport Terminal 1 revived as the stage for an exclusive, experiential art and design fair. Taking place in November 2026, the project returns to the Arab region, transforming one of Abu Dhabi’s registered modern heritage sites and one of the nation’s most iconic architectural landmarks into a vibrant platform for artistic dialogue, thus reiterating the emirate's on-going advocacy for global collaboration and commitment to preserving built heritage.

Renowned for curating slow, intentional formats far from conventional trade fairs, NOMAD invites guests to experience art in a personal and site-responsive way. The Abu Dhabi edition will present a constellation of collectible design, contemporary and modern artworks, and fine jewellery, offering collectors, cultural leaders and global patrons shaped by cultural context, artistic meaning, and curatorial rigor.
